Described as "The freshest and funniest comedy since Monty Python", The Day Today is the television incarnation of "On The Hour".  Broadcast in 1994 it used similar extreme story lines as its radio predecessor but the use of television made them all the more real.

It also used many of the same characters as in On the Hour and most importantly Alan Partridge as a sports reporter. The show in general is extremely funny but it is almost worth buying the videos just for the Partridge bits. Steve Coogan also plays several other characters throughout the shows and good bits to look out for are the eye witness in "Bomb Dogs" and the owner of "The Bureau".

If not only for Alan, if you like satirical comedy then these videos are definately worth buying.
